Who’s Bailey? The only ones I can think of are Beetle, George from It’s a Wonderful Life, and the redhead from WKRP in Cincinnatti, and I’m not sure any of them would offer Batman much of a challenge. ---

I’m thinking it’s the WKRP Bailey. This looks like a parody of the ‘Batman vs Whoever’ and ‘Bailey vs Jennifer’ debates. (And if it’s a swimsuit competition, my vote’s for Bailey. Although Batman does have a nice butt (Depending on whose version he is, of course). ^\_\_~) ---

If it’s comic character v. comic character, though, then he must mean Beetle. And I don’t think I’d write Bailey off as quickly as I did in my last post. I mean, look at all the poundings he’s taken from Sarge. Talk about takes a licking and keeps on ticking! ---

WRKP Bailey. After all, nobody refers to that soldier boy as just “Bailey.” Mmm… Bailey… ---

Bailey wins every time with me. Batman? He does nothin’ for me. Bailey wins vs. Pam Anderson too, but that’s another poll…😃
